Suncheon-si Secures 3 Billion KRW in National Funding for Public Building Green Remodeling Project
Efforts by Employees to Secure Government Funding Show Results Centered on the Mayor
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 3rd that it secured 3 billion KRW in national funds for six locations this year, following last year, by applying for the Korean-style New Deal (Green New Deal) 'Public Building Green Remodeling Project,' promoted as a new growth engine in the post-COVID-19 era.
Green remodeling is a project that improves energy performance and indoor air quality by replacing high-performance windows, high-efficiency insulation materials, heating and cooling facilities, and heat recovery ventilation devices in public buildings used by vulnerable groups, such as national and public daycare centers and health clinics, that are over 10 years old.
The city secured a total project budget of 4.9 billion KRW through last year and this year, and plans to promote the green remodeling project at six locations remodeled last year, including Woldeung, Hoedeok, and Bichon health clinics, as well as this year's selected Oeseo Health Clinic and Seungju Daycare Center.
To actively respond to climate change and for this public contest project with a national subsidy rate reaching 70%, Mayor Heo Seok and city officials have actively secured national funds by visiting the National Assembly and relevant central government departments from the early stages of project implementation. They have also taken a leading role by participating in related meetings as representatives of 19 local governments nationwide.

A city official said, "Generally, partial repairs of old buildings had limitations in improving heating and cooling efficiency, and although the project does not significantly change the building's exterior due to its nature, this project has a very high satisfaction level among facility users as a comprehensive energy efficiency management measure." He added, "The city, which has steadily invested budgets to create green buildings, will strengthen its reputation and substance as an ecological city through the green remodeling project."
